"While I'm Living" list

I had a great day yesterday hanging out with my mom and spending time with her.  We did some shopping, had lunch and just chilled.  We also watched the movie "The Bucket List" have you ever seen it? It is with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.  It maybe hard for some to watch as it deals with cancer, but I think it is a movie worth watching.  It also deals with the central theme of how they become friends, create a bond and accomplish many things on a bucket list the create before they are gone.

You know as I was watching it, I looked over at my mom and thought about all the things she may have wanted to do in her life and have not done.  I remember when I took her to Jamaica for the first time, it was the first time she had been on a plane, and she was in her middle 40's then. How many other things had she never done and for some reason may still feel she still can't do. What would be on her bucket list? I thought.  I did not ask, but I will today.

It was also a question I had to ask myself, although I changed it to my "While I'm  Living List".  What is it that I want to do to create a more blissful, fabulous and fullfilled life while I'm still living? not just for me, but for others as well.   What about you, what do you want put on your "While I'm Living List?  Who do you want to take with you, while they are still living?  Share with us in our comment section. I would love to see them.

Here is a smalle sample of mine:
1) Take 3 DreamTrips to Hawaii (one with my hubby..you know a little tropical paradise alone time, one with my sister-in-law, one with my closets girlfriends (you know who you are)
2) Take a Dream Trip to Egypt with my Mom
3)  Take a DreamTrip to Alaska with my hubby
4) Visit the Grand Canyon with my family
5)  Go to Japan with Cory
 6) Help fund and built a a new green affordable residential coop building in the South Bronx, like the one that was just completed as the Colin Powell Green Home NY City (it's where I grew up)

Okay that is just a sample and not necessarily in order, but you get the idea.

So that was my day, a little introspective, a lot of happy and whole lot of just enjoying my mom's company.

Until next time,

Live in Bliss!
